How to become a mirror for Xfce

The Xfce Desktop Enviroment has mirror sites from all around the world,
but we are always looking for more reliable and
well connected sites that can help us distribute our software.

We don't use mirrors for the various Xfce websites. Instead, we request
mirrors that can aid in distributing the software itself by mirroring
our main software distribution directory.

Requirements

We have a few requirements for those wishing to run a mirror:

At least 10 GB of available disk space. The current distribution
directory is around 6 GB, but we wish to leave room for expansion.

You must do an update-check at least once a day and preferably
every 3 hours or so.

Allow rsync access to the mirror for the Xfce archive server (IP is
138.48.2.107), so we can check the contents of the mirror.

Inform us!

Before you can start to become a mirror, please create a bug in our
Bug Tracker.
You'll need to sign up for an account, then create a new bug in
classicifation "WWW" and product "archive.xfce.org".

Please include the following information in the Description field:

Country where the mirror is located

Approximate bandwidth

IP address of the mirror

In the bug we will discuss if your mirror offer fills a need (while
we really appreciate it, it is unnecessary to have multiple mirrors
at the same location using the same connectivity). If it does the IP of your
server will be whitelisted on the main rsync mirror.

Almost ready...

Once the site is configured, tested, and updating consistently; contact us
again (in the same bug) to give us rsync module information and the HTTP
URL of your mirror. We will then add the mirror to MirrorBrain.
